SAUSAGE-STUFFER.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 23,080, dated March 1, 1859.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, I'IENRY L. Dr; Zane. of the village of Geneva. in the county of Ontario and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Sausage-Stuffing Machine 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification.

A, Figure l, and B, Fig. 3, represent two metal standards firmly attached to a plate or block G and braced at the top by a rod (6. (See Fig. 8.) On the outside face of the standard A and near opposite edges are claws Z), I) (see Figs. 1 and 2) turned in contrary directions for a purpose described hereafter.

D, Fig. 5, represents a' metal screw constructed with a head 0 and shaft E, the latter passing through the openings (Z, (Z in the standards A and B to support the screw in a horizontal position. (See Fig. 8.)

F, Fig. 6, represents a tin receiver made to inclose the screw 1) and connect to the standard A, as hereafter described.

G, Fig. 7, represents a metal ring surrounding and fixed to the receiver F at its large end and provided with two or more spurs c, e on its periphery so arranged as to look under the claws 6, Z). (See Fig. 8.)

The particular characteristics of my in vention are as follows. Vhen the machine is to be used the receiver F is shoved over the screw 1) so as to bring one of the s )urs a above and the other below the claws t, Z), when by turning the receiver F partially around by means of the ears .r, a; it will be firmly connected to the standard A by the spurs c, 6 locking under the claws Z), 5. (See Fig. 8.)

It is now evident that if the screw D is made to revolve by means of the crank 1 that the prepared meat pressed into the receiver F through the hopper L will be forced out at its opposite or small end the head 0 on the screw protecting the standard A and shaft E. If preferred. the spurs e, 6 may be placed on the side of the ring G, so as to project through the standard A and be secured by pins, and the standards can be connected together so as to be attached to the edge of a table by a plate and thumbscrew underneath.

I am aware that the screw has been in use for many years, to convey substances, but I do not know that it has ever been constructed and used in the manner and for
